Question about ride quality

[retrofitter]

I have a question about the ride of the 2007 2500. I drove my Duramax on vacation last week. This is the first time I have had any weight in it other that the fiberglass Leonard cover. I guesstamate less than a 750 lbs. The ride was rough. When you would hit bumps, it felt like it was bottoming out, which I know it cannot be. Was it just enough weight to make the helper springs touch? Is this normal or do I have a problem with my suspension? The suspension is stock and truck only has 12k on it. I had truck to dealer for another concern and ask the service advisor about it. He did not know, said he had never driven one.
Thanks for replies.
Tom

The OEM shocks on these trucks are terrible. A set of Bilstein shocks will be one of the best bang-for-the-buck investments you will ever make. Check with Nor-Cal Nick (vendor here) that can take care of your problem.

I've got a set ov cognito UCA's on order and should be here friday, but didn't have enough money for the bilsteins, but im sure it will ride a lot nicer with just the arms and my leveling kit.... i'll report back on how it rides with the stock shocks, and cognito UCA's, but i do agree the stock shocks suck.
